Our week

Math

 We will be finishing a few more group problems on time prior to the students being assessed  next week with EQAO multiple choice questions and a word problem task. Following time, the students will be studying data management. Students will create pictographs, bar graphs, compare information on graphs and identify the mode. Despite moving on to new topics, students will still be seeing other math ideas that we have studied throughout the month of December. In the new year, we will be studying division. 

 Language

 Today, we worked in groups to answer questions about a nonfiction text on pencils. We first read the text as a class and the students were asked to identify the main idea of each paragraph- not an easy task! So, we will need to continue to practice this skill. 

 We used the Chromebooks today as they answered questions. Students have begun to develop skills in finding relevant text support and answering questions with the important details. Once they have finished the task, we will look at exemplars and review our work. 

 Clothing at school

 It was a wet day on the yard! Students may want to pack a spare pair of socks and mittens in their backpack throughout the winter in case items get wet.

 Important dates to remember
Tuesday, November 28th- Little Caesar Pizza Kit Pick-up Day

Friday, December 22nd- Christmas Concert (Primary begins at 9:30am, Junior at 10:50am)
Yours in Catholic Education,
Mrs Zulpo

An Overview: April

Our Gr.3's have been working hard! Language:  We are finally all finished up with narrative writing! Students have been working hard on procedural writing. Topics have included "How to Make a Snowman", "How to Make S'Mores", "How to Brush Your Teeth" and "How to Get Ready for School". This week, we will be taking a more hands on approach to writing! First, we will read a procedural text on how to make slime and then as a large group we will follow the instructions and step by step make the slime together. After making the slime, students will independently write their final procedural text on "How to Make Slime", with their goal of teaching their audience how to make slime with specific steps and details. Math:  We are wrapping up geometry this week. The past couple weeks we have been exploring symmetry, classifying 2-D and 3-D shapes and transformations of shapes (rotation, translation and reflection). This week we will b

Science Experiments: Forces!!

Image
In collaboration with Mrs. Sloan's Gr.3 class, our gr.3's circulated through a variety of Science experiments. Each center involved a hands on experiment that focused on the different forces we encounter in everyday life. Take a look... Students had to use a variety of materials to create a boat and see how many dice their boat could hold before it sank. At another center, students were given a marble and a variety of materials. The challenge was to find a way to slow down a marble that they drop. Students were very creative! Students were also given a shoe box and a balloon, along with a variety of materials and had to see how far they could make their shoebox go.
